Lets just leave it there, this isn't the forum for this conversation

I wasn't suggesting it was Stafford, I was saying my source said it had happened again and I don't think you could have verified that on Saturday night. I'm also not saying my source is better than yours I'm simply stating I spoke to someone on Saturday night who I believe.

I might have mentioned he has big flipper feet.

Was an absolute favorite to watch. Like most of his era he had a fulltime job as well as footy. I think he was an Aviation Firefighter from memory.

I understand why you believe it wasn't Stafford however I found out Saturday night the same foot was trod on again at training at the start of the week. Not as badly as the original but it explains why he wasn't selected. My source didn't know who was the culprit as Fritta wouldn't give them up and that's fair enough.

Kudos to Andy for getting along to so much training this year. I've particularly enjoyed the extra reporting from yourself and a special mention to Kev Martin. Thanks also to the others who have ventured out and provided some terrific observations. I think it's appropriate to acknowledge some of the people such as Slart and Hawk, who I have disagreed with vehemently over the preseason, they have still contributed to the reports and I thank them for their contribution. Regardless of my opinions on some matters, I believe them to be passionate MFC people and say simply GO DEES!!

I watched it on Kayo which had the 4 wise monkeys as quarter and half time commentators, Buckley's gem for the night was; "they need to put the gas to the peddle". Truly BT worthy, the other 3 just kept going like nothing had happened. No wonder he confused the Collingwood players.

I thought the Tippler closed at 1030 on Saturday.

London Tavern in Richmond both before and after, although being a Saturday night game a few will head straight home. We've always enjoyed the Hassett Room on level 2 after a game as it usually stays open for 20 to 30mins after the game.

Leisurely drive down early afternoon, pick up stock for the business at Costco and Campbells, then into accom at the Amora River Walk in Richmond. Pre game snacks and beverages there. On the tram and into the Hassett Room at least an hour before the game. Catch up with a number of Redlegs we haven't seen since last season, particularly Nana 31. After the game into the Hassett Room for celebration drinks and another round of "It's a Grand Old Flag". Back on the tram to accom and watch the replay. Every chance I will crash and burn before seeing the replay, like Hardtack I've been off the booze since a week after Xmas.

Wonder what they would pay for a bag of rocks?

Yes and the fact Hunter, coming from a different Club, was also surprised.

The next step, WCW isn't the only one to get lost in the MCG.

Yes, if to cover injuries/resting players, otherwise he waits. I would be ok with him coming in when we are 3 games clear at the top of the table with 2 games to play and his form warrants it. Playing devils advocate; if Schache catches fire at Casey and kicks more goals/performs better than JVR, I would bring Schache in as cover.

Serious question; do you think you would need to pull the kaftan up for that?

He isn't out of contract till next year but does need to show something at Casey this year.

I'll try again, a comment by who? Your correct that this what Cornes keeps trotting out and you've stated it was made last year during the trade period, who by Cornes? I don't recall Kozzie being interviewed by Cornes and I just don't see Kozzie seeking out someone to tell them this.

It's the Boards fault, just ask Hawk the Demon

I don't mind being called a "Rooster"

Well said BBO

If that means Kane C deals in BS, then yes.

There's your issue right there. Captain obvious signing off !!

I've heard him go on about this several times and he always says Kozzie hates Melbourne (the place, not the Club). But what is his source for that comment? As an aside, did anyone on here interact with Kozzie at the family day and how was his demeanor?

On current evidence, the likelihood of anyone listening to Hawk regarding any matter, diminishes every time he posts.

Show off ..... but thanks
